    The brands sold are:

    • CVS Health
    • Leader (Cardinal Health)
    • Rugby (Cardinal Health)
    • Rite Aid
    • Target Up&Up
    • Velocity Pharma

    Looks like they all contain carboxymethylcellulose sodium, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, hypromellose, and/or dextran. Heres the FDA info I sourced this from: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/fda-warns-consumers-not-purchase-or-use-certain-eye-drops-several-major-brands-due-risk-eye#eyedrops
